Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.

If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Father Bill Peters was a Catholic priest at the parish church of St Helens, East Gresford. Father Peters served the parish for 26 years. Father Bill served in the Australian Imperial Force during the Second World War as a chaplain in the Pacific theatre. He was also instrumental in introducing to the district the Sisters of St Joseph, who worked in the schools and remote areas of the Gresford-Paterson region.
